Cabinet discusses potential move to join ICC
Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri said ministers on Thursday discussed joining the International Criminal Court, a permanent tribunal that prosecutes individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, for “a specific period.”
The move would mark a significant shift for Lebanon, which is not a member of the court. Mitri said the move would enable the ICC to “look into war crimes and humanitarian crimes which were committed on Lebanese territory.”
Lebanon has accused Israel of war crimes and repeated breaches of international law during the latest war with Hezbollah.

Maybe the Lebanese incompetent cabinet should look into growing a spine and jail every hizbelkizb politician for the true war crimes they’ve committed over the last 44 years, how about rounding up hizbelkizb members and ship them out to Iran, the filthy country they pledge allegiance to.
